The decadent nobles had already gotten used to being reared like pigs by the Brilliance Shrine. If anyone wanted to release them, they would probably be bitten by them instead. Hence, in Sinelli's plan, a large number of nobles who were close to the Brilliance Shrine were to be purged during this incident. He was not worried about attracting the attention of the Brilliance Shrine. Ever since Pope Rosario had not appeared for a long time, the high and mighty clergymen wouldn't care about the lives of the pigs they were rearing.
However, to Sinelli's surprise, the unknown Tower of Dusk not only attracted the attention of the Brilliance Shrine, but also attracted the attention of Pope Rosario, who had not appeared for decades. He really didn't know if he should be angry or rejoicing. After all, Rosario's appearance proved that everything he had done previously was far from enough. Not to mention Rosario's influence, Rosario's Sanctuary-realm power alone was something that even a million-strong army would not be able to contend with.
That might be a good thing too. If he couldn't be sure that Pope Rosario was still alive, he would probably not be able to stay on the throne for long. Ever since Marshal Benjamin left, Sinelli had been sitting there quietly, tapping his fingers gently on the table while thinking about what he should do in the future.
After settling the matter with the caravan, Gavin brought them back to the Tower of Dusk in the Breezy Plains. However, Lin Li did not immediately go to the Darkness Shrine, and instead returned to the Holy Mountain and the Church of Dawn, because he owed the Brilliance Shrine another favor.
He helped Rosario to detoxify the poison for the sake of fulfilling a previous agreement. In fact, Lin Li did not expect that the matter with the caravan would cause Rosario to show up personally, and even give the Tower of Dusk unrestricted business rights. Of course, the favor did not have to be returned immediately. Lin Li returned to the Church of Dawn not only to return the favor, but also because Rosario had promised him that he could read the ancient books in the collection of the Brilliance Shrine at will.
Previously, on the Holy Mountain, Rosario let Lin Li read the Light Bible not only because he wanted to reward him for helping him detoxify the poison, but also because he hoped to use the Light Bible to verify if Lin Li was the Son of Holy Light that the Brilliance Shrine was looking for. However, it was obvious that as long as Lin Li did not take out the debris of the stars, Holy Light, he would be a true mage, and would not give himself away at all.
Combined with his Great Prophecy, as well as the information that Englos and Martin had obtained back then, Rosario was unwilling to let Lin Li go. He also knew that Lin Li was going to the Darkness Shrine, but if Lin Li was really the Son of the Holy Light, he would be sending himself to the jaws of death. Hence, in order to make Lin Li stay, Rosario not only promised to open up all the manuals, but also promised to personally guide Lin Li in the use of the power of Holy Light.
Sendros did not say what the matter was, nor did he say how urgent it was. In that case, he decided to go to the Brilliance Shrine and stay there for another two days. Hence, Lin Li, who had originally planned to leave, followed Domingo and Holliard back to the Holy Mountain. Of course, Lin Li's return also made the few old men who were passionate about pharmaceutics very happy.
Two days later, Marshal Benjamin personally sent the information about the Tower of Dusk to King Sinelli.
"Is what's written … true?" King Sinelli asked in disbelief after flipping through the information. He knew that a force that could purchase 15 Magical Crystal Cannons at once should be a top force, be it in the Ledin Kingdom or the Felan Kingdom. However, he did not expect the Tower of Dusk, which he had never heard of before, to have only been established for more than two years.
In more than two years, the Tower of Dusk grew from nothing to the top force in the entire Breezy Plains, and even the entire Felan Kingdom. That was simply unbelievable. Even in myths, there was probably no such exaggerated story. He looked at the description of the strength of the Tower of Dusk in the information. There were dozens of Archmages above level-15 and hundreds of Magic Shooters above level-10, as well as business networks all over the world. King Sinelli could even say with certainty that the Tower of Dusk was probably the most powerful force in the Ledin Kingdom apart from the Brilliance Shrine.
From the annihilation of the Syer Bandits to the defeat of the powerful Dark Blade, the Tower of Dusk had obtained its current status through ruthless means over the past two years. The root of everything was the young President, a Legendary-mage in his early twenties.
He obtained the inheritance of Geresco, the God of Mages, and went deep into the forbidden area of the Haiga Mountain Range. Rumor had it that he even explored the seventh Sky Castle of the High Elves. He mysteriously disappeared for half a year, and when he reappeared, he was already a level-23 Legendary-mage who defeated the two Legendary leaders of the Dark Blade in one move. He participated in the operations of the Supreme Council and explored Highlord Osric's mausoleum. Rumor had it that he had also gained a lot from the mausoleum. Compared to the rapid rise of the Tower of Dusk, the experiences of the young President Felic made Sinelli feel like he was watching a myth. Or rather, it was even more exaggerated than a myth.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this information about the Tower of Dusk is actually no longer a secret in the Breezy Plains. In fact, it can be said that everyone knows about it. This mage named Felic is not easy to deal with, "Benjamin said with a sigh as he shook his head. In fact, when he first received the information, he also thought that the person who collected the information had made a mistake. He thought that it might not be two years, and that it might be an ancient force that had existed for 200 or even 2,000 years. However, after comparing the information from several channels, he finally realized that it was really more than two years.
"Deal with him? Why should we deal with him!? " Sinelli flipped through the information in his hand, and the shock on his face gradually faded. It was replaced by an indecipherable smile. He continued, "This Mage Felic is indeed a rare talent, but judging from this information, he's not a person who can be recruited. Even the Supreme Council cooperated with him in the exploration of Osric's mausoleum. He's also a person who refuses to submit to others. "At this point, the king was rather emotional, and even a little envious and jealous.
"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words," Benjamin hurriedly reminded. Benjamin hurriedly reminded him. The pope, who had not appeared for decades, had reappeared in front of the world, and the believers had also become more loyal. God knew if someone in the palace would snitch on them.
"Haha, okay, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about Mage Felic. It's impossible to recruit him, but it's a good choice to cooperate with him, "Sinelli said as he looked at Bnehamin.
"Cooperation? Your Majesty, you're the ruler of a nation, he … "Benjamin said with a slight frown.
"What ruler? The real ruler is over there," Sinelli said as he pointed in the direction of the Holy Mountain. With some helplessness on his face, he said, "I'm afraid His Majesty the pope has appeared this time because he's taken a liking to Mage Felic's abilities. We're already lagging behind, and because of that matter, we've pushed him further away. "
"This is all my fault. I didn't investigate the other party clearly," Benjamin said with a guilty expression.
"It's not your fault. That Mage Felic has indeed exceeded our expectations. If it weren't for the Brilliance Shrine's performance, I'm afraid I wouldn't have believed what was written in the information, "Sinelli said with a sigh. The glory of the Quel 'Sarah Family should not be buried in history. Although this path was destined to be extremely dangerous, he still had to go on.
A few days after Lin Li returned to the Dawn Cathedral, the Foreign Affairs Minister of the Ledin Kingdom, Harquis, represented the royal family, and sent an invitation that was similar to a diplomatic summons. Although Lin Li was a little surprised, he felt that it was normal after thinking about it carefully. Although diplomatic summons were usually used for foreign envoys, the Tower of Dusk's status in the Felan Kingdom made the invitation reasonable. On the other hand, a few senior executives of the Brilliance Shrine who had consulted Lin Li about pharmaceutics were rather displeased with the Ledin Kingdom's decision. However, since it concerned the interests of the Tower of Dusk, no one would really say anything.
Lin Li sat in the luxurious carriage that the Ledin Kingdom used to receive foreign envoys, and once again arrived in Sparta. When he arrived a few days ago, he had been discussing pharmaceutics with Domingo and Holliard along the way. This time, he finally had the time to take a look at the scenery of Sparta. Although the buildings in Sparta were not mainly white, they still seemed clean and bright. Of course, the most eye-catching one was the Dawn Cathedral of the Brilliance Shrine.
Of course, the most eye-catching one was the Church of Dawn of the Brilliance Shrine. Every once in a while, the carriage would pass by a small white church. If one did not know better, one might think that they were being led around in circles. When Lin Li returned the last time, he had heard from Domingo that there were nearly 100 churches of various sizes in Sparta. The largest one was located next to the square in the center of the city, and was presided over by a red-robed archbishop.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the palace, and the guards of honor stood neatly on both sides of the palace gate. A red carpet was laid from the palace gate to the location where the carriage stopped. The Foreign Affairs Minister, Harquis, led Lin Li onto the red carpet, passed through the long corridor of the guards of honor, and entered the majestic Ledin Royal Palace. From the beginning to the end, it was carried out according to diplomatic etiquette, which was rather refreshing to Lin Li. However, given his status, it was really nothing. Not to mention the status of the Tower of Dusk in the Felan Kingdom, his identity as a level-23 Legendary-mage was something that no king could afford to slight.
Although the interior of the palace was also resplendent, it didn't attract too much attention from Lin Li. After all, he had seen the Sky Castle and Osric's mausoleum, and the decorations here couldn't be considered luxurious. He had to admit that the High Elves had reached the pinnacle of the pursuit of luxury, and humans simply couldn't compare to them.
Following the footsteps of the Foreign Affairs Minister, Harquis, Lin Li arrived at the hall where the king of the Ledin Kingdom summoned the foreign envoys. The guards in front of the hall slowly opened the door for the two of them, and the scene in the hall was immediately revealed. As the door was opened, King Sinelli, who was originally sitting on the throne, slowly walked down the stairs and walked towards Lin Li with a smile.
"Your Majesty, this is the owner of the Tower of Dusk, Master Felic." The Foreign Affairs Minister Harquis first introduced Lin Li to King Sinelli, after which he turned around slightly, and said to Lin Li, "Master Felic, this is the king of our kingdom, His Majesty Sinelli Quelsala."
Quelsala was the surname of the royal family of the Ledin Kingdom, and came from the language of the High Elves. Besides, it was said that the royal family of the Ledin Kingdom did have something to do with the High Elves during the Dark Age, but no one could tell what exactly their relationship was. Perhaps even among the members of the Ledin Royal Family, perhaps only the true direct heirs would know some of the truth.
Although Lin Li didn't know what the relationship between the royal family of the Ledin Kingdom and the High Elves was, King Sinelli seemed to be a rare handsome man to Lin Li. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but King Sinelli seemed to have some traces of the High Elves in his eyes. Of course, there were also humans who had outstanding looks. Perhaps it was just a misconception brought about by the surname.
"Your Majesty, it's an honor to meet you." Although the previous incident with the caravan had happened, Lin Li wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't let it go. Hence, he bowed slightly to King Sinelli.
"Master Felic, you're being too polite. It should be my honor to be able to meet the youngest Legendary-mage of the Felan Kingdom," Sinelli said with a smile. Sinelli returned the salute with a smile, and invited Lin Li to take a seat at the side. He did not return to the throne, and instead sat down next to Lin Li.
Sinelli's actions gave the Foreign Affairs Minister Harquis a great shock. However, after thinking about the rumors that had spread two days ago, he realized that even the pope of the Brilliance Shrine had appeared for the young mage, and even issued a special decree. Hence, he felt that it wasn't that hard to accept.
Lin Li looked at King Sinelli, who was seated next to him, and didn't feel flattered at all. Instead, he had a better impression of the king. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Li tactfully asked about the purpose of Sinelli's summons. After all, he wasn't a real envoy of the Felan Kingdom, and could only represent the Tower of Dusk.
Sinelli had studied Lin Li's information before. Although the information wasn't very detailed, it still gave him a general understanding of Lin Li's character. Hence, after hearing Lin Li's question, Sinelli didn't try to be as vague as when he spoke to the ministers. Instead, he frankly said, "Master Felic, the main reason I invited you here this time is to talk about matters related to trade."
"Oh, please go ahead, Your Majesty," Lin Li said, showing some interest appropriately.
